The article deals with the issue of modernization of methodological systems for teaching mathematical disciplines studied by students of economic specialties. in IT areas. The possibilities of the GeoGebra tool are revealed, which are important for improving the quality of mathematical training of future economists in the context of the implementation of the didactic principle of visibility and the inclusion of students in research and project activities. Particular attention is paid to the practical aspects of using GeoGebra in solving plot, applied problems associated with the use of active techniques and methods of teaching mathematical disciplines, the growth of students’ creative and intellectual activity when working with topics that require visualization of mathematical concepts and objects. The conditions of methodologically expedient inclusion of Geogebra into the practice of teaching mathematical disciplines for the preparation of economists and the modernization of already existing methodological systems for teaching mathematical disciplines are highlighted. It has been proven that the use of the interactive geometric environment GeoGebra allows visualization of abstract mathematical concepts, which contributes to the fastest possible perception of the material, a deeper understanding of it and increases interest in the discipline being studied. In addition, the use of dynamic mathematics systems both in the classroom and in non-classroom work has a positive effect on the success of students. Completing mathematical tasks using the GeoGebra environment arouses students' cognitive interest in exact sciences and promotes the development of visual and creative thinking. GeoGebra should be considered a special visual environment not only for solving specific problems related to mathematics and mathematical modeling, but also an environment for the implementation of interdisciplinary projects of an integration nature.

Aula Verde (tree room) as a link between art and science to raise public awareness of nature-based solutions

Nature-based solutions inherently require a multifaceted perspective that encompasses diverse fields. The aim of this project is to develop more effective nature-based solutions, climate action and environmental awareness by breaking down boundaries between disciplines and fostering a co-creative process. Concepts of ecology and urban forestry were combined with the research on political ecology, environmental humanities, land art, regenerative art, performing art, participatory art, and more-than-human art. This process resulted in the creation of Aula Verde Aniene. It is located in an urban park in Rome and consists of a stand of trees arranged in circles with a specific design to give the perception of being in an outdoor vegetated room. The project activities involved community participation through art performances and citizen science initiatives. Regulating and cultural ecosystem services of Aula Verde were assessed using i-Tree Eco software and citizens’ surveys. Beyond numerical descriptions of ecosystem services, the manuscript introduces shinrin-yoku as a practice to raise awareness of nature. The distinctive approach here described contributed to convey a sense of belonging to the ecosystem to citizens. The project framework and study findings have been developed to formulate policy recommendations and disseminate a format that can be adapted to diverse locations.

Fashion Fictions: student experiences of designing sustainable fashion worlds

ABSTRACT An international participatory project launched in 2020 aims to expand understandings of the possibilities for sustainable fashion by bringing people together to collaboratively outline and prototype alternative fashion worlds. As part of this initiative, affiliated activities have been introduced to the curricula of various design schools. The project offers an approach to sustainability in fashion design education that operates at a system, rather than product, level. This article examines project activities of differing durations at two institutions. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with students and tutors, it finds that participation expanded the students’ thinking about fashion, design and sustainability, generated a sense of possibility and agency, and prompted productive exploration beyond the immediate fashion context. However, some participants appeared to focus on sustainability solutions within the current system rather than questioning the status quo more deeply, indicating a need for more effective scaffolding of the speculative process.

Project activities in extreme and space environments

Project activity in extreme and space conditions has its own specifics and requires a special approach. Extreme and space environments are conditions that differ from normal conditions on Earth. Space environments are even more extreme, people encounter them during flights into space, on space stations and ships. Project activity in such conditions has its own characteristics and requires special knowledge and skills. For example, when designing space stations, it is necessary to take into account the effects of radiation, weightlessness and other factors. In addition to factors that are associated with physical danger to humans, it is important not to lose sight of psychological factors and features of the functioning of “space ecosystems”. Project activities in extreme and space conditions require careful preparation and planning, as well as taking into account all possible risks and problems.

2042 Implementing the principles of Shared Decision Making into a Hospital at Home service, as part of a wider organisation adoption

Abstract Background NICE (2023) Shared Decisions Making (SDM) Guidelines ensure Health Care professionals work together with a person to reach a decision about care based on their individual preferences, beliefs, and values. Local Problem. We conducted an Audit across our community services to assess NICE SDM, achieving 71% compliance. Results informed the project problem statement “Clinical Teams are not fully compliant to NICE SDM guidelines therefore a shared decision-making approach is not guaranteed”. Methods A fishbone diagram was applied to understand why SDM wasn’t routinely occurring in clinical practice. Our aim is to achieve organisation wide adherence to SDM. We propose a multi modal approach to increasing awareness of SDM across the organisation. We used a driver diagram working backwards from the goal, identifying the drivers and determining the project activities. Interventions Due to the enormity of rolling out a pan-organisational programme we decided to use the Frailty NHS@Home virtual ward to test and learn before greater adoption. We firstly processed mapped how the “What Matters to you?” question is embedded into our Comprehensive Geriatric Assessments. A decision support grid for treatment option decision making was created for dehydration or high risk of dehydration within the NHS@Home service, adapted from Marrin et al (2014). Three options are described underpinned by five questions. Feedback from Patient and public involvement ensured the language was appropriate. After the first PDSA cycle, the tool was reviewed by the project team and two further questions were added, “Did you understand the options which were explained to you?” and “What matters most to you as we decide together how best to treat your dehydration?” Conclusion A re audit and colleague survey will reveal increased knowledge and understanding of the SDM concept. We continually seek Feedback from individuals who use our services for their experience of SDM processes.
